why there are elections

To curb abuse of power, to empty the cupboards of skeletons, regime change is unavoidable. For no matter how inscrutable the system of internal controls, and no matter how facetious the auditing, nothing beats removing the incumbent. Otherwise banks would have no business rotating branch managers. Otherwise dynastic rule by monarchs, regents, dowagers and embedded elder statesmen would still be the order of the day. Otherwise there would be no use for democratic elections. Seizing the opportunity, a self-serving lawyer by training gratified himself at NKF, adjusting his employment remuneration to whim. Can you afford to grant any self-serving lawyer unbridled liberty with your Constitution?
